[laughter] you're getting at bad as biden. >> cenk: okay. now listen, we actually gave you the best part. the rest of it was even worse. we'll get to that even later and i might talk to a couple of invisible people later in the show. let's get to the main event mitt romney. i thought some parts of the speech were very good. and then some parts not so good. let's give you one of the moments that helped to humanize him. which was his main goal. >> my mom and dad were married for 64 years, and if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist.

president obama said this back in 2008 when he was running for president back then. >> obama: you have shown what history teaches us. in defining moments like this one the change we need does not come from washington but to washington. >> cenk: but now here is my dis disagreement with the president. look we sent president obama to washington to be that change. but so often on issues whether it was negotiating with the republicans on taxes on budget deals, on spending, you name it, he said, oh, these nothing we can do. we can give you 5% change, change it a little bit here, a little bit there but over all the republicans twisted my arm. i stint have 60 votes. i didn't have this or that, and i can't bring you change from inside washington. my god, you are president of the united states of america. you have so much more power than you realize. you don't have to constantly give in to republicans. and the second part is, listen, when we push to the outside. when progressive groups push in the outside. when progressive commentators push from the outside, do you think the obama administration

they're going to pretend they have leaked tapes of president obama. now it's from 1998, and he said absolutely nothing wrong. listen for yourself. >> i think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because i actually believe in redistribution. at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody has got a shot. >> cenk: oh, ladies and gentlemen, they got him! he said redistribution of wealth. let's see if mitt romney emphasizes redistribution. >> the president's view is one of a larger government. there is a tape that just came out today where the president sang he likes redistribution. i disagree. where government plays a larger and larger roll role, and redistributes money we believe in free enterprise, not redistribution. and create wealth, know distribute wealth. i know some believe that government should take to some and give to the others. i think the president makes it clear in the tape released today that that's what he believes. whether we want a governme
